SAMSUNG WD80T4046CE/LE | 8 5KG, 1400 OB/MIN, ECO BUBBLE, 60X85X60

Pros

• Washing: Generally effective washing performance is commonly mentioned. Many users report excellent washing results. One user noted a particularly effective wool program. The machine is described as quiet, even during the high-speed spin cycle (14000 rpm mentioned).

• Drying: While some users find the drying function slow (requiring at least 6 hours, even for small loads, with some reporting clothes still wet after 3 hours and even coming out wetter than before drying), others praise its performance. The drying is described as satisfactory by several users, producing soft clothes with a pleasant smell. One user finds it particularly useful in inclement weather when clothes dry slowly. The "Ready to wear" option is noted for reducing wrinkling, but increases drying time. A user notes that the drying function is very good when using manual drying time settings rather than the automatic wash/dry program.

• Features: Many users highlight the abundance of functions and features. Automatic weighing is mentioned as a positive aspect. The machine is praised for its ease of use and intuitive programs.

• Quiet Operation: The machine is frequently described as quiet or very quiet, even during the spin cycle.

Cons

• Drying Time: The drying function is a major point of contention. Many users report excessively long drying times (at least 6 hours for small loads), with clothes sometimes emerging wetter than before drying. This is considered unacceptable given the price of the machine. One user even compared it unfavorably to a lower-end previous dryer.

• Temperature Limitations: The limited temperature options (20°C and 40°C primarily) are criticized, as many clothes require a 30°C wash.

• Lack of "Spin Only" Function: The absence of a separate spin cycle is a recurring complaint.

• Sound Issues: Several users reported excessively loud sounds during the spinning/wringing cycle. One user also noted a rubber smell during initial drying use which the user indicated decreased after some time. Another user reports difficulty in silencing the key tones even using reported methods.

• Durability: Multiple reports of malfunctions, including a complete failure of the drying function after several months and a pump malfunction requiring a motherboard replacement, cast doubt on the machine''s long-term reliability. One user experienced repeated breakdowns in drying and washing after only 3 years, describing it as a major failure. Another user reported clothes being torn in the machine.

• 30°C Wash Absence: Several users noted a lack of a 30°C washing option.

Comments

The reviews reveal a mixed experience with this washer-dryer. While the washing function generally receives positive feedback, the drying function is consistently criticized for its slow and inefficient performance. The limited temperature options are also a recurring concern. The machine''s long-term durability is also questionable, with several users reporting significant malfunctions. Users suggest manually setting drying times as a way to avoid problems with longer drying times and the machine produces good results after the drying times are manually set, however a 6-hour drying time (or even longer) is still a significant drawback for many.
